Comment on Flirt Like a Caveman by zorm
Thanks. 
Yeah, I prefer to draw women with fuller figures, partly to balance out my usually so throughly exaggerated hulk-men, partly due to the fact that I don't find sharp bones sticking out of a woman's body aesthetically pleasing. When one starts sketching more detailed kind of body structures, that is something you come across pretty soon in a skinny frame. I also like how some of the Renaissance artists portrayed females, and been reffing some style elements from my art books concerning that era. To start for instance from Botticelli's Venus... she was hardly a matchstick. XD

That's so true! There's nothing wrong with being skinny at all, but there's just too much emphasis on being skinny in these times that it just becomes unhealthy. The women portayed in the Renaissance period just looked more like how real women do, as does this piece. And coming from someone who is also no matchstick, I always appreciate seeing a female done with a fuller figure
Ditto. Some people are thin naturally, but it's a common average for woman's body shape to be slightly on the round side. I'm actually pretty skinny myself, but that's probably due to a quick metabolism. Only now that I've started exercising in a harder manner, I've gotten my kilos a bit past 50.
As I draw mostly women from my novel, it would be rather illogical to make them look like fishing rods on the brink of starvation. Hiid here has toiled in hard peasant work for years and enjoyed stout food alongside. There's a good amount of muscle amid the normal tissues, so that partially makes the limbs thicker.
Not that these characters are really even standard fantasy heroes. XD
